ImportError: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[lee-zion]

Describe the bug
ImportError occurs when I import taichi from python.

To Reproduce
Since I was trying to use genesis which uses taichi internally, reproduction include installation of these packages, but seems clear that it is an issue related to taichi.

$ conda create -n test_env python=3.10
$ conda activate test_env
$ conda install pytorch torchvision -c pytorch
$ pip install genesis-world
$ python
>>> import taichi

Additional comments
Since ti do not work, I manually figured out environment information as below. Please let me know if you need another informations. Thank you.
